I wonder what'll happen... Acolyte Until.
What the heck is going on?
What is Nen doing? H-How'd he know about that... That jutsu? Not only that, it's impossible to perform it flawlessly! Several powerful shinobi from the Village Hidden under the Moon have attempted but only three prevailed. Nen would make the fourth! His katana experience seemed like it tripled during this jutsu; he's whirling it from hand to hand in mere seconds with no effort! With this power, he'll be sure to kick Kurai's ass! The overconfident girl remained in that position and smirked, barely visible with the damp hair covering her malevolence face, the pouring raindrops making Nen's fur wet and heavier, and my bandanna too hefty to be pulled back up to envelop my face with this broken wrist.
From above created a half-as-loud roar that echoed repeatedly in the grassy plains. My deaf ear made it so the volume was cut partly overall, so the roar must have been way louder to the others. Our natural human instincts ordered us to look up and distinguish the source of the noise, and so we did.
"Eeek!" Kemari yelped at the sight of a large, crystallized dragon. It blocked out the dark clouds releasing their rain forming a really shady shadow beneath it. I'm not that calm either, but Nen can handle that large piece of crystal! The dragon slowly preceded downward following every movement that Kurai motions with her sword. A few seconds later it was hovering above her, very obediently.
"How do you like my jutsu...? I made it a while ago. I combined the power of my two clans and made this!" Kurai overconfidently introduced her dragon, spreading out her arms while proceeding to add onto her unfriendly introduction.
"It's a crystal dragon... Its name is Ice. Suits it, doesn't it?" We figured as much... She retracts her malicious leer and seriously raises her sword; her dragon mimicking her. She twirls her body faster than the light the Moon emits and halts without even a sense of imbalance, her sword blade pointing directly at Nen. Our brave Nen readies a stance with his Huqe sword gripped securely on his right hand, looking at the incoming dragon with poise. Just as the dragon was about to chomp on Nen, he extended his left arm and clenched his paw.
"Aoouyah!" ! Nen sounded different! Somewhat like a werewolf... With that howl Nen swung in a circular motion at the icy dragon in an uppercut! He was almost levitating in the air, but, after he released grip of his sword, he fell down realistically, and grabbed hold of it perfectly on his right hand. With that confidence he must have Plyden activated, but, I cannot see due to being with Kemari. The dragon lost some of its crystals; it must be very sturdy. Kurai retracted her dragon to her sword and her crystals reattached to the dragon and repeated her technique, this time, only with more patterns.
The dragon came rushing in a corkscrew style, ready to hit Nen. Nen, however, he dodged to his left with a flip throwing his sword high up in the air. He grounded from his paws and he reverse-jumped up performing another tight spin while grabbing his sword and gripping it in two hands, rushing toward the ground and splitting the head of the dragon apart. Whoa, that's... Amazing! All of the crystals that formed the dragon shattered but flew back to encase Kurai's sword. Dammit! After all of that, she's still not done? Her sword began glowing red internally, and it was suddenly humid in the air.
"W-What's coming out of there!" Kemari...?
"Wha-?" I gasp as I realized that a fire-like crystal dragon is emerging from Kurai's sword. But, but... Her ice dragon was defeated just moments ago by Nen, how could she...?
"I'd like to introduce... Fire... My fire crystal sword... Can give off real fire just as the other one can give off real ice," Kurai mentions proudly while the dragon swirls around her legroom.
"This is his brother. Every time you defeat a dragon... Another one appears twice its power until you get to the Underworld Dragon, which is the strongest dragon in the world." Impossible... How could she hold that much... Power?
"Kemari, are you getting her?" I ask for her opinion.
"If she claims of many dragons, then Nenin can perhaps defeat them all easily, no matter of their power!" Nen... Hmm... Nen is still in that stance, ready to attack, but, something's bothering me... Zenaq died of an incurable disease caused by the jutsu he created, what will happen to Nen?
Huh? Who's that? Someone's by Kurai, although I couldn't identify their face... Deyanira is... What the...? Where's Deyanira? I look around my surroundings but I found no one. That person might be Deyanira or someone else... Blackish robes with red spots, too hard to tell from here.
Kurai returns her sword to her other hand and thrusts straight directed at Nen; the dragon was nearly half way toward its attack a millisecond later.
"Nen! The dragon!" I shout to warn Nen, although he clearly knows by now, it was a natural instinct. Nen made an attempt to dodge but the dragon caught his right arm and they both flied to a tree to the sheer right of us! Dammit!
"Let me go Kema-Argh!" She grabbed my broken wrist! Crap! She won't let me kill that girl! The dragon returned to his owner and her sword lowered its glow by a hand sign. Argh, you'll pay for this-wha-?
"Kemari! Water wave!" Kemari turned to where my finger was pointing, a large wave was rushing down this area, and we'll be drowned if we don't think fast!
In a few seconds Kurai motioned everyone to hop on it and the mysterious hooded guy obeyed. All of a sudden, the trees above us swished unusually and a blackish figured blurred out. Was this Deyanira? It is her! I see her Plyden cheek marks! She was stalking us! She flipped while airborne and once she gained eye contact with us she threw another pair of those strange shuriken in our direction!
"!" What...? I ran out of kunai and shuriken! Urgh...! Think!
"Kemari, throw me a kunai, will you?" It's worth a shot! I'll take the risk of blocking both shuriken! I hopped toward the incoming shuriken and I managed to place my footing on top of the one directed headed for me. I immediately aerial-hop after causing one of the shuriken to drop to the ground and I aim toward the shuriken that was about to stab Kemari!
"!" I-I missed!
"K-Kemari! Outta there!" The shuriken is too close, it's impossible to do anything! She needs to dodge ASAP!
...
"!"
"Nen!" How'd? His long Huqe sword was extended and the tip of the blade prevented the shuriken from slicing Kemari. The shuriken clinked and bounced off; falling to the ground. I looked up, I got a closer view of Nen; he was looking dead-on at me. His eyes were Plyden-activated and were also bloodshot. His furry ears were partially hid behind his long black hair. He had a short muzzle and all of his black fur was wet. The strange thing is that; Nen was just hit, how'd he recover so fast? The view of him only lasted a short while; he instantly turned around and began sprinting toward a nearby tree. We heard the roar of the dragon departing as I realized Nen ran up the tree wall and pushed off soaring toward the fire dragon.
"Let's go Sironar, follow Nenin!" Kemari suggested upon noticing the large tidal wave rushing in, eager to crush us. Her voice was a stutter; I'd be too if I had to speak while a gigantic wave would compress me. Wait...
The family casket!
... It seemed untouched from danger, but the flood will destroy and the casket itself and Nen's mother's corpse!
"Kemari, follow him! I'll... I'll catch up!" She nodded and proceeded to follow the remaining smoke from the rain drops colliding with the fire of the flame dragon.
I only had a few seconds to think about it, so I randomly decided to cut the monumental ornament of the casket; the Huqe sword upright and the crescent moon, they both formed a diagonal cross. With my Javelin I roughly cut the metal connecting the headstone and the casket. I bowed my farewells to Nen's mother's corpse and I quickly leaped onto the tree following Kemari's steps. I looked backed to see the flooding wave rushing and spreading rapidly.
I picked up the pace, I had to catch up to the pack, although one question did had a loud voice in my head; 'How will Nen return to normal?'
